About the practice

Having worked in private practices in Dublin, Birmingham, London and Norwich, husband and wife team, Neal Lewis and Amy Tyrrell started their own partnership Lewis + Tyrrell Architects, having practised independently since 2005. Our work is about responding to each client and their site's individual requirements, and to produce simple and elegant designs within tight financial and time constraints. From domestic lobby extensions to larger scale new build commercial projects we aim to provide a personable service and make the process an enjoyable experience for the client. We attempt to design as efficiently as possible with a holistic approach to sustainability. We believe in site orientation, passive thermal design and the use of renewable and local resources are a key to achieving a sustainable design. Current projects include looking to Passivhaus & Code 6 design criteria, alongside exploring the use of energy generation through biomass chp and photovoltaics.
